  DARK AVENGERS is a wonderfully weird comic, but it seems appropirate that one of the last issues is such a serious and moving story. Parker and Edwards have had a lot of fun with these lesser known characters and this strange world, and it hurts all the more knowing that they saw them as real people, too. DARK AVENGERS may not have been long for this world, but I'll certainly never forget a comic that made me care about a clone of Thor created by Mark Millar for a nearly decade old summer event.

  I especially liked the use of splash pages in this issue, as multiple scenes play out across them; this aids in ramping up the story for the final issue as the hits come quick and fast, and it all explodes together on the final page. It's a simple layout choice that works wonders, and just goes to show that sometimes the simplest approach is the best.Dark Avengers has one more issue left, and everything seems to be coming together, finally. There are still some bumps along the way, but this issue is a vast improvement on the previous one, and builds momentum towards the final issue with ease. It'll be a shame to see this title go, but hopefully it'll be able to go out with a bang, not a whimper. Read Full Review
